OverviewSunday June 20 to Saturday June 26, 1999In 1999 Syncro Safari took place in the scenic mountains of Monatana and Wyoming near Yellowstone National Park. The event included Syncronauts from as far away as Germany, socializing, 4-wheeling, and some campfire sing-a-longs. I (Jim Davis) for one, really enjoyed this special adventure and especially how our little band of Syncronauts came together as sort of a family during the week.

Why the Yellowstone area? We examined several venues for the 1999 Syncro Safari, and Yellowstone was chosen because a large number of Syncronauts preferred it, the scenery was a significant change from Moab, Utah (the 1998 Syncro Safari location), and we had a a pair of Syncronauts (Tom & JeanAnn Kirk) in the area to help organize the program. Also, there are terrific nearby attributes, like Yellowstone National Park (the event's namesake), Grand Teton National Park, and the reasonably close Glacier National Park.

What sort of 4-Wheeling did you do? We spent three days on mild-moderate off-road trails exploring, seeing beautiful scenery & wildlife, with two of these days in the Pryor National Wild Horse Reservation in Montana. We didn't do any hard-core crush-your-Syncro stunts. Days not off-road were spent seeing many of the areas pavement accessible sites like the Cody Buffalo Bill Museums, skiing along the Beartooth Hughway, and visiting parts of Yellowstone National Park. We were very careful to leave these beautiful areas just as we found them. What we brought in, we brought out! We don't rip up the terrain with our Syncros.
